AAMOI, I still post via E-S using Tor. There are several simple
adjustments that those who try and filter Tor can do absolutely nothing
about. The usual efforts may stop an annoying script kiddie (possible
intent), but it won't hinder anyone with advanced networking knowledge.

Also, look for Apple users in your NETBLK address space. Apple products
with Personal Hotspots can be compromised. The same tactic cannot be used
for an Android or Windows Mobile Hotspot, but persistence is sometimes
rewarded in different ways.
